With the DT9816
series Data Translation offers a range of low-cost USB data acquisition
modules for simultaneous sampling of up to six analog signals.
Unlike comparable measurement instruments in the same price range,
these modules feature separate 16-bit A/D converters per input
channel instead of multiplexed inputs. This eliminates phase
shifts and allows simultaneous, synchronous measurements on multiple
inputs - thus offering significant advantages for measurement
speed and accuracy.

The series provides different models, from the proven DT9816-S
with a sampling rate of up to 750 kHz per channel, to the DT9816
with 6 x 50 kHz and the DT9816-A with 6 x 150 kHz.

The compact,
rugged data acquisition modules run entirely on USB power so
that no external power supply is needed. This makes them ideal
for portable measurement and test applications. Screw terminals
on the module allow easy signal connections. In addition to the
six analog inputs, all models of the series also provide 16 digital
inputs and outputs. A counter/timer supports frequency measurements,
rate generation and other operations.

The modules of
the DT9816 series are available at a starting price of EUR 460.
In addition to providing simultaneous data acquisition at an
economical price, they effectively eliminate error caused by
settling time, crosstalk or phase shifts which are inherent when
switching between channels. Accuracy now is independent from
the signal source impedance.

The modules ship
with the easy-to-use QuickDAQ measurement software, offering
a complete ready-to-measure data acquisition solution. The software
application has an intuitive user interface and delivers results
in just a few steps. QuickDAQ provides data acquisition, display
and logging functionality and allows the export of data to Excel
for more advanced analysis. The supplied software package comprises
32/64 bit drivers for the standard Windows operating systems
as well as a comprehensive range of software tools, such as interfaces
for LabVIEW, MATLAB and .NET.
